ESPN.com reported Tuesday that the Warriors will interview Brown soon, and Casey is scheduled to be interviewed before Dallas starts the Western Conference finals.

A team source assured, however, that nothing will be decided before co-owner Joe Lacob gets back from vacation. He is in Africa with his fiancé and won’t be back until next week. He will represent the Warriors at the NBA draft lottery on May 17.

Lacob and Larry Riley, executive vice president of basketball operations, are handling the coaching search.

One team source said the Warriors have long had interest in Brian Shaw, an Oakland native who prepped at Bishop O’Dowd. Though an interview isn’t confirmed, the Warriors would like to set one up. However, the expectation is that Shaw is the shoo-in to replace Phil Jackson.

One of the early names circulating as an option, San Antonio assistant Mike Budenholzer, all but took his name out of the mix for the Warriors head coaching position.

“I’m very flattered and it’s something I want to do some day,” he told the San Antonio Express-News, “but for right now, I’ve decided the best thing for me and my family is to stay in San Antonio. That could change at some time, but for the foreseeable future that’s how I feel, and that’s how I’ve felt for the last little while.”

A separate team source said the Warriors are not necessarily hunting forw a big-name coach. They are going through an exhaustive process to ensure they get the right guy.
